“…overall I think that the use of illegals as labor doesn't really cause a reduction in cost to the consumer.”
Agreed. Although this is not the fault of the immigrant, who is simply aiming higher. Wouldn’t you? & those who come over and set-up fronts for the Latin Kings and the like, well…bummer there, such is the spectrum of human society. Oppression rears aggression, rears bedlam, orale! It’s a fuckin bummer. Mom & pop made less than us and lived better; we made more, spent a little more across the board, got along well back in the ‘80s-‘90s, it was good. Now, in theory (with raises for the brass and cuts for the rest), the “middleclass” work force makes LESS than their parents did and pay far more than mom & pop did in taxes and living expenses, while being manipulated into habitual revolving credit, far too many blasted out of “A tier” credit ratings, then ultimately chained to the post with exploding energy costs and new bankruptcy laws that allow huge entities to slip under the wire with the booty…while snagging middlehuman by the short hairs. Hey, come on, getit? Shit! & what can be done? & what direction do you think the weight of burden is going to shift towards…when the new sheriff’s in town…and when? No when. No shift. …Just pile it onto…yo bloody back breakin' beast o burden blues….
But………… It’s another day, so…smile.
Lets see, what is the criteria for President? The richest, most seeded? Okay. The one who can hide the bulk of her/his human frailties and closet-skeletons while orating unto the masses from the sugarcoated scrolls of master raconteurs? Okay. The one who most doesn’t mind imploring the planet for money on a daily basis (both hands out in grasping fashion on national television) while pshawing that starving beggar right over there on the street (that beggar who was once balanced & economically viable in the mix of a strong middleclass workforce before Reaganomics & the like began the mighty trickle-up process that is now a flood)? Okay. The one & only one per “side” who is so bejeweled by and indebted to some squeaky-clean Senate Committee on Whateverthefuck Human Debilitation & Sidewinder Swindle that even if he/she/it smiles human, …he/she/it is likely not? Not like you and me. Not even like the best that you and I could manage under the paramount of situations and endeavors. Something completely different. Something that wouldn’t be caught dead holding the grocery bag…or changing the diaper…………….or mopping up afterwards? Okay…………………..
So be it………………….. It’s another day, so…smile.
So…if I reverse all this and say the opposite: Then I get to feel like a part of the “A” team, as we roll on into another dark age of human wonder. It’d be easy. I get it. Then I could get all puffed up whenever I turn on the AM radio, …& cry rah-rah-sis-boom-bahhh with my waspy friends out my Suburban window. & jingo dollar signs and wartime rhetoric to the beat of a huff and a puff &…if I wana do something…freaky, all I gota do is figure-out the code words or the proper foot tap sequence while I sidle-in with the RIGHT crowd, because the golden rule does not apply to the RIGHT crowd when it’s the right time, …like when “…it’s ONLY business!”
& yes……………………….. It’s another day, so…smile.
When will 51% of us come to the conclusion that it’s ALL about TOP wealth, the wealth of TOP’s past, present, future ~~ at the expense of EVERYBODY else? Thusly, illegals are presently “legal” (willing) slave labor, therefore lobbied as a boon and a social correctness. Prisons, sweatshops, crushed unions, ………oh. FUCKIT, …nevermind…
……………………………... It’s another day, so…smile.
IMHO, we do not need fences around this country, we NEED common sense around this country…& a willingness NOT to let so-called leaders commit horrendous crimes against humanity only to meander off into historical impunity & VIP status for life. …There are psychos on every continent, psychos competing against psychos of conflicting cultures (cultures that don’t really compete on a human level but business as usual). There are well-intended people of means on every continent as well (Well informed, well-meant well-read sorts with nearly enough, but apparently not quite enough, energy to rise above the din of corporo mediocrity and illusion). It’s such a terrifying proposition anymore; good people lose as bad people win. Earth: The most pointless science fair project known to written language, unless somebody finally figures-out how to face down tyranny. http://www.aflcio.org/corporatewatch/paywatch/
Crusty fat ol fading alpha man
Cuts a slice o pie from the pan
No hesitation: …greed is good
Using up our better livelihoods
Mother workin' hard her entire life:
A laborer, homemaker, blessed mom & doting wife
On the fixed-income of a widowed veteran spouse,
She suffers quietly: now renting her…own…house
If the pie-in-the-sky is a tangible thing
Like the songs that we listen to and sing
Then only so much is there for the cut….
No matter how you add it up, we’re FUCKT
We-ee-eer FU-U-UCKT
We-ee-eer FU-U-UCKT
We-ee-eer FU-U-UCKT
…ooooooooooo-oohhh-oo-ooo-oooh-oooo-oo-oooh
heehee, …there is just no time like the present to wish in one hand and shit in the other!
~~
this really is just a parody, oversimplification, …certainly it’s not near this bad, …………………………………………………..should have never left the cave
